> Le Chateliers Principle> I spoke of this on numerous occasionssearch reveals its the 1st time u've mentioned it on this forum. Are you talking about somewhere else, like your own blog?
even if liquids could be formed in any volume (which doesn't work out from a mass balance point anyway)The outer core is a liquid. What does your mass balance say about that? I think it'd say " oh dear, I've been refuted by the outer core, bye! "
bringing <mantle> liquids to any elevation in the crust requires they remain in disequilibrium the entire time. erm, of course there's a disequilibrium. turn on your kitchen water tap. You might notice water comes out. The reason it does is because there's a pressure disequilibrium between the water pressure and the atmos pressure. Saying liquid can't go upwards cos there's a disequilibrium is the opposite of the truth : it can go up because there's a disequilibrium.
Also ask yourself why there is no oil seeping out of the mid-ocean ridges which have been sampled extensively, ok now this the 1st reasonable point u make. It's also easy to understand.
I don't know. I would guess its possible that petroleum is leaking out from the ocean floor, but its being eaten b4 it gets to the surface in any noticable amount. All these flourishes of microbes and fish have to come from something, and photosynthesis may not be source. We know it ain't for all the life around the rifts that eat the methane. I've heard some other abiotic person go on about this somewhere.
It may be that ocean floor is good at containing petroleum in the unstable zone, such that large amounts don't build up and escape out the floor but are being recycled back into the mantle.
But I'd like to see BP drill ocean floor like they did in the Gulf. Possibly another rig destroyed because the biotic rockdoc's in charge of the rig's specs say
" oh there's no way theres much oil under the ocean, trust us, they'll never be enough pressure to wreck the rig! " why is there no oil seeping out of volcanoes ?Oh I know that one. Volcanoes are too hot at too low pressure , anoxic petroleum would decompose.
But I've wondered if volcanoes are powered by hydrocarbon. Aside being a leak straight from the mantle, what else could they be? last time i looked into it, I couldn't make it work. Volcano rocks didn't seem to be pieces of burnt oil. But I haven't given up the idea completely.
>The only hydrocarbon that has ever been found at surface that could have been sourced from the mantle is methane (Le Chateliers Principle) Dafuq has that got to do with only methane getting to the surface? Chatty's principle is a ' least action principle' you're going to have to spell out what this has got to do with only methane getting to the surface. Or link to something that explains it. Don't pretend that everyone here except me understands it. They don't.
The list of evidence for an organic source of hydrocarbons is huge and I am not going to repeat everything I have pointed to at length in the past that is basic known science that you have chosen to ignore.
Yet you'll repeat yourself dozens of times on the enviro forum. Doesn't look like you'll link to these explanations, either your own, or by others. I'm left having to sift thru your 60 posts on abiotic oil only 30 of which are substancial. Perhaps it would tickle your ego if we start a new thread
" RocDoc's 30 posts on abiotic oil, by dissection " - an attempt to extract substancial information on a subject he has exhausted himself on.
